"Avdiivka Under Siege: Ukraine's Battlefield Struggle Against Russian Forces"

The Ukrainian city of Avdiyivka is facing a critical situation as Russian forces have made significant advances, with reports suggesting that the city could fall within weeks. The legislative paralysis in Washington, D.C., has stalled a new $60 billion weapons package for Ukraine, while the expected ouster of Ukraine's top military commander adds to the country's gloomy mood. Despite the challenges, Ukrainian society continues to support the government's efforts in the face of the ongoing Russian invasion.

Crypto Bills Stalled as US Congress Lacks House Speaker

The US Congress is currently unable to make progress on crypto-related legislation due to the absence of a House Speaker. Since the ousting of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, no legislation, including crypto bills, has been able to move forward. Several candidates are vying for the position, but it remains uncertain if any of them have enough support to win. In the meantime, the lack of a speaker halts progress on important crypto bills, leaving them on hold until a speaker is elected. However, some lawmakers have still been pushing anti-crypto policies within their power, while over 100 members of Congress have called for action on cryptocurrency's role in financing terrorism.

"House Speaker Race: 9 Republicans Compete for Nomination, Emmer Gains McCarthy's Support"

Nine Republican representatives have entered the race for the House speaker position, following the failed bid by Rep. Jim Jordan. The House Republican conference remains deeply divided, as previous attempts to elect a speaker have been unsuccessful.
